Our mission is simple - to have kids explore technology and get creative with it. We work hard to create a quality educational experience for all of our students.

We hire teachers who have a love for educating students as well as a fascination with tech.

Each day, the students learn new tech skills and solidify ones they have -- all in a supportive and fun atmosphere.

We held virtual tech camps during Summer 2020 and they went great!
